I'm feeling sad and empty at this very moment. Nobody would ever catch/ hear me saying this : but suddenly I'm missing my Mom like crazy. I just really miss my mom right now. I miss her terribly. I really do.

Birthday Message 2013 for Jombo
Our youngest son Josemaria (Jombo) is
officially an adult today, he is now 21. He's our unexpected, unplanned baby,
but God gave him to us as "bonus"!
Do any of you remember how you looked forward to turning 21? I remember thinking it was the "magic number", the age where I could leave childhood behind me and I would be able to do anything I wanted to, because I was all "full-fledged " person. In some respects, turning 21 is the beginning of growing up. There is so much more to learn, more things to be responsible for, and grown-up choices to be made. Jombo may now be of age, but i will never stop being his mother. He may no longer my baby, but he will always be my cherished son. My hope and prayer that he will continue to grow with charm, dignity and maturity, and that he will be wise in the choices he makes in his life. I trust God with that.
We love you kiddo! Happy Birthday!

Tara's Bone Marrow Transplant Fund.Save two lives. | Medical Expenses - YouCaring.com
I am reposting the link below to reach out to all my friends and relatives for help to respond to the Bone Marrow Transplant Fundraising call for Tara ( she’s a distant relative whom I personally consider fondly as my daughter and part of the family in my heart.) This is to reiterate my appeal to you all to do something for someone who can never repay you. Tara has been diagnosed with AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia) and is ready for bone marrow transplant anytime soon. The Fundraising campaign has been extended for another 3 weeks hoping and trusting to find a suitable donor and at the same to achieve the fundraising goal for BMT expenses.
Each of us has something to offer. Each of us has something to give. Some have resources, some have talents, some have time or perhaps some have their matching tissue types to become BONE MARROW DONORS. Whatever gifts we have been given- large or small we’re asked to share these generously with people in need. Sharing gifts is life-giving, hope-filled expression of gratitude to God and love for His children.
Thank you and God bless – Ma. Thelma R. Grana,M.D.
